How to book
Please contact the establishment of your choice, stating
the dates you require, the number of rooms and any
dietary requirements you may have. Many of our
properties display availability on-line so you can now
check your proposed dates at www.visitely.org.uk
Guest Accommodation
Unless otherwise stated, prices quoted are per person
and include full breakfast based upon two adults sharing
a twin or double room, including VAT. If booking a single
room you are advised to check with the establishment of
your choice to see if a single room supplement is payable.
Self-Catering Establishments
Prices quoted are normally per unit based upon the
maximum number of persons in the accommodation.
Touring, Camping and Caravan Sites
Prices are normally quoted per pitch or unit; however, you
should confirm this with the establishment of your choice.
Reductions for Children
Please check with the individual establishments for
children’s rates.
Cancelling a Booking
When you accept accommodation, you may be entering
into a legally binding contract with the proprietor of the
establishment. If you cancel a reservation, fail to take up
the booking or leave prematurely, the proprietor may be
entitled to compensation if the accommodation cannot
be re-let for all or a major part of the booked period.
If a deposit has been paid it is likely to be forfeited and
an additional payment may be demanded. In the case of
serviced accommodation, this is usually two-thirds of the
contract price, one third being deducted for food not
consumed and services not rendered.

Ratings you can Trust
All the accommodation featured in this guide has been
quality assessed by either VisitBritain or the AA, or has
recently applied for star rating and is awaiting assessment.
Please be aware that ratings can change throughout the
year. We also work closely with accommodation belonging
to internationally recognised hotel brand chains where
standards and quality are guaranteed. All the national
assessing bodies (VisitBritain, VisitEngland, VisitScotland,
VisitWales and the AA) now assess hotels and guest
accommodation (including B&Bs) to the same criteria
and award one to five stars. The star ratings reflect the
overall quality of the experience. The assessors visit every
year, carrying out a routine day visit or an overnight stay in
the case of serviced accommodation. On these occasions,
they book in as you would, as a normal guest and test all
the facilities and services. A quality score is awarded for
every aspect of the experience including the comfort of
the bed, the quality of the breakfast and dinner and most
importantly, the cleanliness. They also score on the
warmth of welcome. For serviced accommodation, there
are two separate schemes – one for hotels and one for
guest accommodation.
Hotels have to be licensed, offer dinner at least five nights
a week (unless categorised as a Metro Hotel) and have all
rooms en-suite or with private bathrooms.
Places that ‘go the extra mile’ to make your stay a special
one will be awarded high star rating, and hotels and guest
accommodation may achieve a Gold or Silver award or
red diamonds.
Further Information and Complaints
More information and verification on ratings is available
by visiting www.enjoyengland.com or www.theAA.com.
If you have any issues or complaints that have not been
resolved by the proprietor/manager and which you would
like to bring to our attention, please write to:
